Additional History
Kitt’s 2018 release “Midnight in Macedonia” was recorded in Skopje, Macedonia with the Macedonian Orchestra and Choir. The album garnered numerous awards, his first million streams, and served as the impetus to his popular live shows.
A largely self-taught musician, Kitt started on horns in his young teens, but transitioned to keyboards and synthesizers. At 16, he had his first song on the major market radio stations in his home state of Oklahoma. This was the seed to many years of writing, recording, and touring. Although, he recorded several projects, he didn’t record his first solo album until “Cinematic Chaos” which was released in 2014. This is where began working with various orchestras and choirs in the US and eastern Europe.
Kitt is also a multi-genre producer and works with a wide range of other artists.
